What we'll do
THIS IS A WORKSHOP TAKING PLACE AT THE FSA WIRRAL ROADSHOW - YOU MUST HAVE A ROADSHOW TICKET TO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP! Join Mark Clarke in this new and exciting workshop in soapstone carving. Try your hand at carving stone. Soap stone is a very soft natural material, easily filed, sawn, scratched, drilled, sanded and polished. In a two hour workshop you will use a range of simple tools to make your own pendent, beads, touch stone, spirit animal or anything else you may revel once you start carving into your stone. Soapstone can be worked by all ages so no matter what age clients you spend your time with, they will all be able to engage with this material.
